The West Expedition is not as good as the previous South Expeditions and East Expeditions. In this era without any roads or railways, in this era without cars, trains or even bicycles, all traffic depends on one, two, and all roads. Just stepped out.

The most difficult road for the Southern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition is to cross the Blue Ridge and the Great Smoky Mountains. As long as the two mountains are crossed, the remaining roads will be the same.

In the West Expedition, all the mountains or hills can be seen along the way, and the valleys and flat basins are almost invisible. Even if I walked to the east bank of the Mi River, at first glance, there were still rugged hills everywhere.

Moreover, in this era, the vegetation on the ground and on the slopes has hardly been destroyed, which makes the westward march more difficult.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Burst Bear Brigade are all native Indians. Although the road is difficult to walk, they should not be embarrassed.

But the marching speed will naturally be much slower.

On this day, just led the first group of 700 soldiers to sweep down a stone bear from the Chekasha tribe, and received a letter from the carrier pigeons from the Okron Fortress.

There are two good news. The first good news is that the four inland armed transport ships from the Gaoshu tribe are pulling a large amount of supplies. After six days of voyage, they finally arrived at the fortress of Alkron, and the reconstruction of the fortress of Alkron, which was razed to the ground, began. Up.

The second good news is that the Gaoshu tribe has two more French inland armed transport ships.

This second news is purely an accident.

It turned out that the four armed transport ships transporting supplies in the Gaoshu tribe had just arrived on the third day of Okron Fortress. After nearly half a month of sailing, the two inland armed transport ships loaded with various supplies finally became Arrived at Fort Ocron from New Orleans.

Both of these ships departed from New Orleans. One of the ships' destination was Fort Ocron, and the other ship's destination was Fort Louis military fortress on the upper reaches of the Russian River (near Louisville in later generations).

Although the Seven Years’ War has been over for four years, the French colonists on both sides of the Mi River did not easily cede their territory because of the defeat of France, and the British did not have the power to take over the French at this time. A place as big as Louisiana, so these French colonists living on both sides of the Mi River are still living well.

And because of the strength of the United Kingdom, France and Spain are now united. New Orleans was secretly given to the Spanish by the French. Therefore, the various materials needed by the French colonists living on both sides of the River Mi could still flow through New Orleans. Along the Mi River and its tributaries to various military fortresses and settlements along the way.

The two inland river armed transport ships docked in the Okron Fortress are dedicated to transporting supplies. Moreover, after navigating on the Mi River for so long and arriving in the safe Fort Ocron, the transport ship that is going to the Fort Louis military fortress will naturally take a rest.

The later Louisville has not yet been established, but it has long been occupied by the French. The French built a large military fort here, named after today's French King Louis XV. Well, in another twenty years, the Fort Louis will be renamed Louisville, and Louisville will be named after Louis XVI, the grandson of Louis XV...

In any case, the current Fort Louis military fortress is the largest military fortress built by the French on the Russian River. The strategic location is extremely important, so the various materials needed there are also extremely large.

This ship was used to transport supplies to the Fort Louis military fortress.

Because the first regiment of the Bear Burst Brigade bombed the Okron Fortress and did not destroy the wall, so when the two ships arrived at the Okron Fortress, they did not find anything abnormal from the outside. In addition, there are still four empty armed transport ships moored on the pier, similar in model to their ships, and they are all French transport ships, so the soldiers on these two transport ships are even less suspicious.

After all, Fort Ocron is an important military fortress, located in the core area of ​​French Louisiana. There are hundreds of French soldiers stationed here, as well as fortress artillery defense. It is impossible for anyone to break through here.

Therefore, the unsuspecting crew all got off the ship, and followed their captain cheerfully to prepare to go to the Okron Fortress. As a result, as soon as they entered the door, they were arrested by the first group of soldiers who were like wolves and tigers left behind.

Two transport ships full of various food and other materials became the bag of the left-behind soldiers of the first regiment of the Burst Bear Brigade.

Compared with the materials delivered by the Gaoshu tribe that arrived at the Okron Fortress, the two French armed inland river transport ships were a real surprise.

Originally, Shixiong was short of ships, but he gave away two ships for nothing. What is it that is not a good thing?

Compared with the materials on board, these two ships are undoubtedly much more important.

Two more ships were added for no reason. As soon as Shi Xiong was happy, the soldiers of the Seven Hundred First Regiment were given a day's rest. Of course, the time of this day is mainly used to exchange information with the left-behind soldiers of the Okron Fortress. The Stone Bear wants to tell them how to deal with the French and how to block the news that Okron Fortress is occupied.

Since there are two ships delivered for nothing, it is enough to show that neither the French nor the Spaniards know the news of the Ocron Fortress being occupied by them.

So can we take advantage of this and ignoring a few more ships?

As long as the news of Okron Fortress's occupation is not spread, and others, especially the French and Spanish, will not know, then as long as it is a transport ship that goes on the Russian River, it will inevitably stop at Okron Fortress by then...

This kind of good opportunity must be seized well, otherwise there will be no such shop after passing this village.

The first group of soldiers who stayed at Okron Fortress was led by Dashan. This big mountain is the big mountain of the Xiaohe tribe. A powerful archer who was once a member of the expedition team, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com followed the stone bear to fight the Yuchi.

Later, the Expeditionary Army conquered all the Cree tribe, so the warriors who had stayed in the Xiaohe tribe returned to the Gaoshu tribe, and Dashan naturally became a member of the direct line of troops.

Da Shan is now a battalion commander of the first regiment of the Burst Bear Brigade, with about 300 people in his hands. This time staying behind Okron Fortress, Kuai Ma let Dashan's camp stay behind.

This fellow Dashan is a good hand at war, but if he is playful, he will be far away.

So how to confuse the French or Spaniards must be taught by Shixiong.

Fortunately, the straight-line distance between the first group and Okron Fortress is only 100 kilometers. With the speed of the homing pigeon, the news can be delivered in more than an hour.

It took a day for Shi Xiong to tell Dashan what to do, and when the first group opened the next day, another good news was sent through the carrier pigeon.

The king's court of the Chekasha was pulled out by the West Route Army!
